Ask a Question - Bridesmaid or Bridesman :) - HAPPYEVERAFTER's Orange Wedding by Color Blog

ok ladies, I have been considering who to have as my bridemaids and of course i have family obligations for a few girls. Three are my cousins and then there my fiancee's sister who has been very helpful. I know one of my friends will def be a bridemaid if not the maid of honor. Another one of my friends I would love to have but she recently moved so Im not sure if thats going to work. However, heres the question! I have two guy friends who are truly the closest to me. Im in colllege now and one has been my best friend since grade school. I def want them in the wedding, however I would love for them or at least one to be standing up there with me. My family feels its very untraditional but it is unique lol. What is your opinion on having bridemaid with maybe a guy as well??? please help.

It is traditional but I see nothing wrong with that (I am not traditional at all)
I would do what you and your FH feel is right, its your day. It doesn't matter the number, the age, or the sex of the people standing up there with you. If it is a problem, or your family still feel very off put about it maybe have your two guy friends as ushers or "honored guests" they could do a reading, hand out programs instead of the groomsmen or even lay down an aisle runner between the bridal party and you...there are lots of "duties" they could have to be included

Do you feel is right in your heart its your wedding. How does your FH feel about it? I think thats what counts the most.

thanks alot, im not sure andrew would be willing to be an usher dont think he would be very fond of that job lol. I guess you jjust have to know him. but anyways i like the idea of honored guest, how do u really show that anyways? ive never heard of it. I love them both dearly and i know my FH would not care a bit on whatever i decided to do, but it just feels wrong putting girls up there that are ok friends when there the best friends a person could have and just leaving them out.

I'm having my male BFF stand in as my 'maid of honor'. I looked up the 'rules' on this and discovered he should be referred to as my Honor Attendent. No one in my family has said anything about it and if they did, I wouldn't care. He has been my best friend for 10 years and there is no one in the world I would rather have in that place. If you want them up there with you, make sure they're there. It's your day! Do what you want!

Its your day hun, whatever makes YOU happy! My Fiance may have a his close female cousin as a groomsmen if one drops!

thanks u all very much..ill let u know what i do
